I truly enjoyed this fun installment with secret drawers and panels, a quick pace and of course dreamy, always supportive Ned Nickerson. #NancyDrewBR

Librarybelle Yay!!! 5mo
bookandbedandtea Ned was my first #litcrush 💜 Little did I realize, back then, just how high he was setting the bar. 5mo

This book was fun and sweet and sexy. I loved Ricki finding her own way, out of the shadow of her family. I'm super intrigued by the concept of Perennials. And I think Ezra may end up on my #litcrush list. 😍 My favorite parts were the brilliantly funny conversations Ricki had with Tuesday and Ms Della.

4. We finally meet Ned in this book! Though referenced briefly in a prior book - and that seems to me a continuity issue, given what we learn in this book - Nancy meets Ned at the scene of the fire. There is instant attraction!

I saw some comments from #LittenDetectives that they really enjoyed Bess in this one.

Thoughts to share on Bess, George, or Ned? #NancyDrewBR

BarkingMadRead I love Ned. I don‘t remember him being mentioned before, but they could just be perimenopause 🤣 Bess and George always crack me up, although they aren‘t always super nice to each other! 8mo
Bookwormjillk Bess says what we all would be thinking. Can we solve this mystery? I have stuff to do.

Ned was kind of just there. I hope he shows some personality at some point.

DGRachel I liked that we got a proper intro to Ned as opposed to that weird one-liner. Bess and George are always delightful, but I‘ll confess that I don‘t remember a lot of specifics of their behavior in this book. 8mo

bookandbedandtea I've always related most to Bess as I, too, am not thrilled about getting dirty, would be hesitant to jump into danger, and am usually wondering when lunch is! 😃 I remember really liking Ned because he doesn't outshine Nancy. He's always impressed by her deductions and doesn't try to coddle her or take over. He was my first #litcrush and I still have a soft spot for him. 8mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk So many dates, so little time. 😂 8mo
dabbe Maybe we should now keep track of how many times they eat, and/or how many hot fudge sundaes Bess wants? I forgot how hungry these books make me! 🤩 8mo
Ruthiella I love Nancy‘s support Scooby Gang! Also, I‘m realizing the fact that Ned has a car is super useful! 8mo
CogsOfEncouragement Ahhhh, Ned. Fun to have him around, and he's so darn willing to help. Keep that up buddy. @bookandbedandtea

I felt a little bad for Bess, her dates have to be postponed while Nancy is having adventures with her love interest. Nothing is fair in this life. @Bookwormjillk @dabbe

AmandaBlaze I really like Ned. He is a good mystery helper, and seems as intelligent as Nancy. As Carson Drew mentioned, she seems to like him a lot more than the other guys she dated.
I like that even though Bess scares easily, she faces up to her fears. I always enjoy George's sarcasm.

kspenmoll It was nice to finally meet Ned & have him be such a help to Nancy & her friends- not condescending towards her enthusiasm for solving crime. 7mo
mrp27 I enjoy Bess and George I just don‘t really care for the food shaming. Thankfully there wasn‘t much of that in this book. Looking forward to more Ned and I too like that he works with Nancy and not try to out do or outsmart her. 7mo
lauraisntwilder @mrp27 I agree about the food shaming. 7mo
lauraisntwilder I love Bess. She's the voice of reason, but no one listens to her. By all means, put on your dungarees and go dig a hole on private property in the middle of the night, Nancy. Bess and I will be safely at home asleep! 7mo
Roary47 I really like this mystery team. I‘m so glad they are together and helping each other again. 7mo
kwmg40 I liked having Ned properly introduced to us, rather than just dropped in. However, if I were reading ND for the first time, I wonder if I would have been suspicious of Ned initially. 7mo
DebinHawaii I feel most like Bess in these books—the more cautious one who wants to help but has other things she wants to do. Also I get hangry so I want to eat too! 😉 Although, yes, I don‘t like the food-shaming either. I actually thought I imagined the name drop of Ned a couple books back when he was introduced here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7mo
MariaW I liked that Bess and George participate more in the sleuthing in general, now they‘re becoming a team. Together they are more reasonable. I liked Ned being very helpful, but again he was trying too hard popping up at Nancy‘s home unannounced and calling 5 times a day. (edited) 5mo

I listened to this book while #audiopainting and enjoyed the heck out of it! It was absolutely fun: from Fizzy's zest for life, the concept behind the reality show, the "heroes," to the cameos by Jess and River it was a great ride! And Connor is going on my #litcrush list! ?

I enjoyed the other books by her I've read but this one I loved! All the rom-com references (book and movie), two people whose jobs (and thoughts and lives) are shaped by love of books, wonderful secondary charactors, and an adorable, punny small town all came together into something that simply worked for me. And let's not forget Charlie Lastra, a prince among men and new leader of my #litcrush list!

CoffeeAndABook I‘m saving this up for my soon-coming-up-vacation and am SO looking forward to it!!! 😃 3y
bookandbedandtea @CoffeeAndABook It's perfect for a vacation read! I hope you enjoy it! 3y

A newsletter I subscribe to (dated today) mentioned National Book Boyfriend Day. I assumed today was the day and began reminiscing about my very first #litcrush, Ned Nickerson 🥰, before discovering the actual day was Oct 3. 😒 Ah well. I still came home and mined my childhood set of Nancy Drew books for pics of the delightful N.N. 😁

Career of Evil | Robert Galbraith

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was so grimy and saturated with such evil vial violent characters I now need to read something lighthearted to cleanse my brain of the grime. That being said, This is the best Strike novel I‘ve read yet. They keep getting better imo and I‘m excited to read more. I‘m seriously in love with Cormoran.

bookandbedandtea Cormoran is pretty high on my #litcrush list! 🤩 3y

It's been a while since I've visited Sheriff Longmire's world and I'm not going to stay away so long this time. Not only do I really like this series (the harsh Wyoming landscape and weather, the little town, the workings of the sheriff's office, the respect Walt feels for the Native population) but my #litcrush on Henry Standing Bear is still going strong and I think I'll need to see him again soon. 😉

Busman's Honeymoon | Dorothy L. Sayers

I had a feeling that once I read one Dorothy Sayers I wouldn't be able to tear myself away I was right. I'm halfway through this one and loving it. I hereby promise myself that I really will finish reading The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo very soon but for now I'm going to continue wallowing in Sayers' precision of language.

rretzler One of my favorite series. Love Lord Peter and Bunter. 6y
bookandbedandtea @rretzler Yes! I've always had a bit of a #litcrush on Lord Peter but this time around I'm crushing hard on Bunter.🥰😄 6y
